At Escape This, we’ve welcomed tens of thousands of groups to tackle our challenging and immersive escape rooms. From our original Northbridge location to our newer Perth CBD Hay St Mall venue, we’ve gathered fascinating data on how different group types perform. Whether you're organising a corporate team-building event, a fun night out with friends, or a birthday bash, this insider look at our escape room data will give you the edge to beat the clock and make your great escape!

The Contenders: Work Groups vs. Friend Squads vs. Birthday Bonanzas

Let’s break down our three main categories of Escape This adventurers:

• Work Groups: These teams bring their professional skills to our rooms. But does their boardroom expertise translate into escape room success?
• Groups of Friends: With a history of shared experiences, friend groups might seem like the obvious favourites. But can they communicate effectively under pressure?
• Birthday Parties: High spirits and celebratory vibes characterise these groups. Will the party atmosphere help or hinder their escape efforts?
